[0021] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, a sealing assembly of a leakage-proof gate valve is used for a leakage-proof gate valve. The leakage-proof gate valve includes a valve body 100, a gate plate 200 and a valve stem 300. A medium channel 110 is opened inside the valve body 100, and the gate plate 200 is slidably arranged in the medium channel 110. The gate plate 200 is used to open or close the medium channel 110. The valve stem 300 is connected to the valve body 100, one end of the valve stem 300 is located outside the valve body 100, and the other end of the valve stem 300 is located inside the medium channel 110, and the end of the valve stem 300 located in the medium channel 110 is connected to the gate plate 200. The valve stem 300 can drive the gate plate 200 to move along the axis of the valve stem 300. The sealing assembly includes a mounting ring 400, a rigid sealing ring 500 and a first drive assembly 600. There are two mounting rings 400. , one of which is arranged in the peripheral wall of the valve body 100, and the other is arranged on the side wall of the gate 200, the two mounting rings 400 are coaxial, and annular grooves 410 are opened on the end surfaces of the two mounting rings 400 facing each other. There are multiple rigid sealing rings 500, and multiple rigid sealing rings 500 are stacked in sequence in the annular groove 410 along the axis of the annular groove 410. The first driving assembly 600 is arranged on the valve body 100, and the first driving assembly 600 is used to drive the multiple rigid sealing rings 500 to move synchronously along the axis of the annular groove 410. When the medium channel 110 is closed, the two annular grooves 410 enclose an annular closed chamber. At this time, the first driving assembly 600 drives the rigid sealing ring 500 to move along the axis of the annular groove 410 to switch the outermost rigid sealing ring 500 of the annular groove 410.

[0022] In the initial state, a plurality of rigid sealing rings 500 are stacked in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100 , and one rigid sealing ring 500 is placed in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the gate plate 200 .

[0023] When the medium channel 110 is closed, Figure 4 As shown, the outermost rigid sealing ring 500 among the multiple rigid sealing rings 500 stacked in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100 is tightly fitted with the outermost rigid sealing ring 500 in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the gate plate 200, thereby achieving sealing of the medium channel 110.

[0024] When the medium channel 110 is open, Figure 13 As shown, the gate plate 200 moves to the upper part of the medium channel 110. The gate plate 200 no longer seals the medium channel 110, so the fluid medium can flow from the liquid inlet to the liquid outlet of the gate valve through the medium channel 110. During the process of the fluid medium flowing through the medium channel 110, the rigid sealing ring 500 located on the outermost side of the multiple rigid sealing rings 500 stacked in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100, and the end faces of the rigid sealing ring 500 on the outermost side of the annular groove 410 corresponding to the gate plate 200, which face each other, are in direct contact with the fluid medium. During the flow of the fluid medium, the fluid medium continuously scours the end faces of the rigid sealing ring 500 that are in direct contact with the fluid medium, so the wear of the end faces of the rigid sealing ring 500 that are in direct contact with the fluid medium gradually increases.

[0025] It should be noted that, in order for the valve stem 300 to drive the gate plate 200 to move along the axis of the valve stem 300, the following two connection methods can be used: the first method: the valve stem 300 is rotatably connected to the valve body 100, the valve stem 300 passes through the gate plate 200 and is threadedly connected to the gate plate 200; the second method: the valve stem 300 is threadedly connected to the valve body 100, the lower end of the valve stem 300 is inserted into the gate plate 200, and the valve stem 300 and the gate plate 200 are configured to move synchronously and rotate relative to each other. In addition, in order to guide the gate plate 200, a guide block 210 is provided on the side of the gate plate 200, and a guide groove is provided in the medium channel 110. The guide groove extends along the axis of the valve stem 300 and the guide groove and the guide block 210 are slidably engaged.

[0026] When the medium channel 110 needs to be switched from an open state to a closed state (clockwise rotation is set to open the valve, counterclockwise rotation is set to close the valve), taking the first connection method between the valve stem 300 and the gate plate 200 as an example, the staff rotates the valve stem 300 counterclockwise. Due to the threaded connection between the valve stem 300 and the gate plate 200, the valve stem 300 drives the gate plate 200 to move synchronously under the limiting action of the guide block 210 and the guide groove. As the valve stem 300 continues to rotate, the gate plate 200 gradually moves downward and completely blocks the medium channel 110. At this time, the outermost rigid sealing ring 500 of the multiple rigid sealing rings 500 placed in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100 and the outermost rigid sealing ring 500 of the rigid sealing rings 500 placed in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the gate plate 200 are tightly fitted. At this time, the medium channel 110 is switched from an open state to a closed state. When the medium channel 110 needs to be switched from a closed state to an open state, the valve stem 300 is simply rotated clockwise, and the specific process will not be described in detail.

[0027] When the medium channel 110 needs to be switched from an open state to a closed state (clockwise rotation is set to open the valve, counterclockwise rotation is set to close the valve), taking the second connection mode between the valve stem 300 and the gate plate 200 as an example, the staff rotates the valve stem 300 counterclockwise. Since the valve stem 300 is threadedly connected to the valve body 100, the valve stem 300 rotates counterclockwise around its own axis and moves along its own axis toward the medium channel 110. Since the valve stem 300 and the gate plate 200 are configured to be able to rotate relative to each other and simultaneously The valve stem 300 moves synchronously, so the gate plate 200 moves synchronously. As the valve stem 300 continues to rotate, the gate plate 200 gradually moves downward and completely blocks the medium channel 110. At this time, the outermost rigid sealing ring 500 of the multiple rigid sealing rings 500 placed in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100 and the outermost rigid sealing ring 500 of the rigid sealing rings 500 placed in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the gate plate 200 are tightly fitted. At this time, the medium channel 110 is switched from an open state to a closed state. When the medium channel 110 needs to be switched from a closed state to an open state, the valve stem 300 is rotated clockwise. The specific process is not repeated here.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, when the service life of the rigid sealing ring 500 reaches the preset time limit or the gate valve is detected to start leaking, the rigid sealing ring 500 needs to be replaced. At this time, the staff first rotates the valve stem 300 counterclockwise to close the medium channel 110. After the medium channel 110 is closed, the staff starts the first drive assembly 600. At this time, the first drive assembly 600 drives the multiple rigid sealing rings 500 stacked in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100 to move synchronously along the axis of the annular groove 410 by a preset distance (the preset distance is equal to the thickness of one rigid sealing ring 500). At this time, the number of rigid sealing rings 500 in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the gate plate 200 increases by one, and the number of rigid sealing rings 500 in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100 increases by one. The number of rigid sealing rings 500 is reduced by one, so that the rigid sealing rings 500 on the outermost sides of the two ring grooves 410 can be switched. At this time, the sealing surfaces of the rigid sealing rings 500 on the outermost sides of the two ring grooves 410 are sealing surfaces that have not been eroded and worn by the fluid medium. Therefore, when the medium channel 110 is opened again, the rigid sealing rings 500 on the outermost sides of the ring groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100 and the rigid sealing rings 500 on the outermost sides of the ring groove 410 corresponding to the gate plate 200 are both in direct contact with the fluid medium for the first time, thus completing the replacement of the rigid sealing rings 500. Since the staff does not need to disassemble the valve body 100 during the replacement of the rigid sealing rings 500, the workload of the staff can be greatly reduced.

[0029] It should be added that in order to ensure the sealing performance of the rigid sealing ring 500 and prevent the rigid sealing ring 500 from moving along the axis of the annular groove 410 under the pressure of the fluid medium, specifically, the rigid sealing ring 500 should be threadedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the annular groove 410. In this way, under the self-locking effect of the thread, the rigid sealing ring 500 can be prevented from moving along the axis of the annular groove 410 under the pressure of the fluid medium.

[0030] It should also be added that in order to enable the multiple rigid sealing rings 500 in the closed chamber to rotate synchronously, specifically, a synchronization groove 510 can be eccentrically set at one end of the rigid sealing ring 500, and a corresponding synchronization protrusion 520 can be eccentrically set at the other end of the rigid sealing ring 500. In this way, the two adjacent rigid sealing rings 500 are fastened and connected to each other through the synchronization groove 510 and the synchronization protrusion 520, and the stacked rigid sealing rings 500 can rotate synchronously.

[0031] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first drive assembly 600 includes a rotating disk 610, a transmission rod 620, a transmission gear 630, a transmission gear ring 640 and a tray 650. The transmission rod 620 is rotatably arranged on the valve body 100. One end of the transmission rod 620 is located outside the valve body 100, and the other end is located inside the valve body 100. The rotating disk 610 is fixedly connected to the end of the transmission rod 620 located outside the valve body 100. The transmission gear 630 is located inside the valve body 100 and is coaxially arranged on the transmission rod 620. The transmission gear ring 640 is rotatably arranged inside the valve body 100, the transmission gear ring 640 is engaged with the transmission gear 630, the transmission gear ring 640 is coaxial with the mounting ring 400, the tray 650 is threadedly connected to the innermost side of the ring groove 410, and the tray 650 is abutted against the innermost rigid sealing ring 500, the tray 650 and the transmission gear ring 640 are connected through a transmission unit, and the transmission unit is configured so that the tray 650 and the transmission gear ring 640 can rotate synchronously around the axis of the tray 650 and move relative to each other along the axis of the tray 650.

[0032] When the rigid sealing ring 500 needs to be replaced, the staff manually moves the rotating disk 610 so that the rotating disk 610 rotates a preset angle. At this time, the rotating disk 610 drives the transmission rod 620 to rotate the preset angle synchronously. The transmission rod 620 drives the transmission gear 630 to rotate synchronously. The transmission gear 630 drives the transmission gear ring 640 to rotate the preset angle through meshing. The transmission gear ring 640 drives the tray 650 to rotate the preset angle synchronously through the transmission unit. Since the tray 650 is also threadedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the annular groove 410, the tray 650 also moves a preset distance along the axis of the tray 650 when rotating the preset angle synchronously. Since the rigid sealing ring 500 is relative to the tray 650, The abutment and rigid sealing ring 500 is also threadedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the annular groove 410, so that multiple rigid sealing rings 500 simultaneously follow the tray 650 to rotate a preset angle and move a certain distance along the axis of the annular groove 410, so that the number of rigid sealing rings 500 in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the gate plate 200 increases by one, and the number of rigid sealing rings 500 in the annular groove 410 corresponding to the valve body 100 decreases by one, thereby allowing the outermost rigid sealing rings 500 of the two annular grooves 410 to be switched. Since the staff does not need to disassemble the valve body 100 during the replacement of the rigid sealing ring 500, the workload of the staff can be greatly reduced.

[0033] It should also be noted that in order to enable the tray 650 to drive the rigid sealing ring 500 to rotate synchronously, specifically, a synchronization groove 510 and a synchronization protrusion 520 can be respectively provided on the surfaces of the tray 650 and the rigid sealing ring 500 facing each other, so that under the transmission action of the synchronization groove 510 and the synchronization protrusion 520, the tray 650 can rotate synchronously with the rigid sealing ring 500 in contact with it.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transmission unit includes a synchronization rod and a synchronization hole. There are multiple synchronization rods, and the multiple synchronization rods are arranged at equal circumferential intervals on the end face of the tray 650 away from the rigid sealing ring 500. There are multiple synchronization holes, and the multiple synchronization holes are opened at equal circumferential intervals on the end face of the transmission gear ring 640 close to the mounting ring 400. The bottom of the mounting ring 400 is opened with multiple arc grooves 420, and the multiple arc grooves 420 correspond one-to-one to the multiple synchronization rods. The multiple synchronization rods slide through the corresponding arc grooves 420 and are inserted into the synchronization holes.

[0035] It can be understood that the synchronization rod and the synchronization hole are provided so that when the transmission gear ring 640 rotates around its own axis, the tray 650 can be driven to rotate synchronously through the transmission cooperation of the synchronization rod and the synchronization hole. The arc groove 420 is provided so that the synchronization rod can pass through the mounting ring 400 and be inserted into the synchronization hole.

[0036] In this embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, a pointer 611 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating disk 610, and a scale disk 120 is provided outside the valve body 100 and circumferentially of the rotating disk 610. A plurality of marking points are provided on the scale disk 120 at equal intervals. When the pointer 611 rotates from one of the marking points to another adjacent marking point following the rotating disk 610, it indicates that the distance moved by the rigid sealing ring 500 in the annular groove 410 is exactly equal to the thickness of one rigid sealing ring 500.

[0037] In the initial state, the pointer 611 is aligned with one of the marking points. When replacing the rigid sealing ring 500, the staff rotates the rotating disk 610 by a preset angle. At this time, the pointer 611 follows the rotating disk 610 to rotate synchronously by a preset angle. The pointer 611 rotates from pointing to the original marking point to pointing to another marking point adjacent to it. At this time, it means that the distance moved by the rigid sealing ring 500 in the ring groove 410 is exactly equal to the thickness of a rigid sealing ring 500. This makes it easy for the staff to accurately control the moving distance of the rigid sealing ring 500 in the ring groove 410, so as to accurately replace the rigid sealing ring 500.

[0038] In this embodiment, a soft sealing sheet and a hard sealing sheet are respectively embedded in the end faces of the rigid sealing ring 500, and the end faces of the two adjacent rigid sealing rings 500 facing each other are made of the same material type. Specifically, the soft sealing sheet can be a rubber sheet, and the hard sealing material can be a nickel-based alloy sheet or a hard alloy sheet.

[0039] When the gate valve is in use, if the fluid medium is changed (for example, when the pipeline is cleaned with strong acid or strong alkali), the rigid sealing ring 500 needs to be replaced so that the hard sealing piece is in direct contact with the fluid medium, thereby preventing the soft sealing piece from being corroded. Otherwise, the soft sealing piece is in direct contact with the fluid medium.

[0040] In this embodiment, both end faces of the rigid sealing ring 500 are inclined, and the inclination angle of the end face where the soft sealing piece is embedded is smaller than the inclination angle of the end face where the hard sealing piece is embedded.

[0041] Taking the temperature of the material flowing through the gate valve as room temperature as an example, the temperature of pickling and alkaline washing is higher than room temperature. Then, by making the inclination angle of the end face embedded with the hard sealing piece larger, it is beneficial to offset the geometric interference caused by thermal expansion by expanding the angle, while reducing the opening and closing energy consumption. By making the inclination angle of the end face embedded with the soft sealing piece smaller, it is beneficial to utilize the small angle to enhance the contact pressure of the sealing surface and improve the static sealing performance.

[0042] During the opening of the medium channel 110, the kinetic energy of the fluid medium flowing through the lower part of the rigid sealing ring 500 is greater than the kinetic energy of the fluid medium flowing through the upper part of the rigid sealing ring 500. Therefore, the wear of the lower part of the rigid sealing ring 500 is greater than the wear of the upper part of the rigid sealing ring 500. In order to solve this problem and make the wear of the rigid sealing ring 500 uniform in its circumferential direction, in this embodiment, a second drive assembly 700 is provided between the mounting ring 400 and the valve stem 300. The second drive assembly 700 is used to drive the mounting ring 400 to rotate around its own axis when the valve stem 300 rotates clockwise around its axis.

[0043] During use, at regular intervals, the staff uses the second drive assembly 700 to rotate the mounting ring 400 on the side wall of the gate plate 200 180 degrees around its own axis. Since the rigid sealing ring 500 is threadedly connected to the inside of the mounting ring 400, the rigid sealing ring 500 rotates synchronously with the mounting ring 400, so that the upper and lower parts of the rigid sealing ring 500 are swapped, that is, the original upper part becomes the lower part, and the original lower part becomes the upper part. In this way, the wear of the rigid sealing ring 500 in its circumferential direction can be made as uniform as possible, so as to extend the service life of the rigid sealing ring 500 and reduce the replacement frequency of the rigid sealing ring 500.

[0044] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 13 As shown, the second drive assembly 700 includes an upper conical gear ring 710 and a lower conical gear ring 720. The upper conical gear ring 710 and the lower conical gear ring 720 are both sleeved on the outside of the valve stem 300. The upper conical gear ring 710 and the lower conical gear ring 720 are both matched with the valve stem 300 for one-way transmission, and are configured so that when the valve stem 300 rotates clockwise, the lower conical gear ring 720 rotates synchronously with the valve stem 300. When the valve stem 300 rotates counterclockwise, the lower conical gear ring 720 rotates relative to the valve stem 300. The upper conical gear ring 710 and the lower conical gear ring 720 are spaced apart from each other. The upper conical gear ring 710 is arranged in the gate plate 200. The upper conical gear ring 710 and the gate plate 200 can move synchronously along the axis of the valve stem 300, and the upper conical gear ring 710 is engaged with the annular conical gear groove on the inner circumference of the mounting ring 400 corresponding to the gate plate 200. The lower conical gear ring 720 is arranged at the lower part of the medium channel 110, and the lower conical gear ring 720 is engaged with the annular conical gear groove on the inner circumference of the mounting ring 400 corresponding to the valve body 100.

[0045] This embodiment is applicable to the second connection method between the valve stem 300 and the gate plate 200. When the medium channel 110 switches from a closed state to an open state, the staff rotates the valve stem 300 clockwise. At this time, the valve stem 300 drives the lower conical gear ring 720 and the upper conical gear ring 710 to rotate clockwise synchronously. At this time, the clockwise rotation of the lower conical gear ring 720 drives the mounting ring 400 corresponding to the valve body 100 to rotate around its own axis, and the clockwise rotation of the upper conical gear ring 710 drives the mounting ring 400 corresponding to the gate plate 200 to rotate around its own axis. In this way, the mounting ring 400 drives the rigid sealing ring 500 connected to its internal thread to rotate synchronously, thereby exchanging the upper and lower parts of the rigid sealing ring 500 so that the wear of the rigid sealing ring 500 in its circumferential direction is as uniform as possible.

[0046] It is understandable that the reason why the valve stem 300 and the upper conical gear ring 710 and the lower conical gear ring 720 are all in one-way transmission cooperation is to prevent the mounting ring 400 from rotating back to the original position after the medium channel 110 is closed.

[0047] It should also be noted that if Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, to prevent the upper bevel gear ring 710 from rotating when the valve stem 300 rotates counterclockwise, ratchet teeth are provided on the outer circumferential wall of the upper bevel gear ring 710, and a retaining groove 220 is provided on the gate plate 200. When the valve stem 300 rotates counterclockwise, the retaining groove 220 and the ratchet teeth engage with each other, so that the upper bevel gear ring 710 does not rotate counterclockwise synchronously with the valve stem 300. Similarly, ratchet teeth are also provided on the outer circumferential wall of the lower bevel gear ring 720, and a retaining groove 220 is also provided on the circumferential wall of the mounting groove for mounting the lower bevel gear ring 720. When the valve stem 300 rotates counterclockwise, the retaining groove 220 also engages with the ratchet teeth.
